Mass murder. A damaged, hurting cop at war with his son. One last shot at redemption.Bound by Blood is the second book in the London Large crime thriller series, featuring the exploits of Detective Inspector Harry ‘H' Hawkins, an old-school London copper in a new world. H is only just back at work after a mental and physical breakdown when pop superstar, Bazza Wishbone, is murdered in the dead of night in a top London hotel. As the whole world looks on in horror, H investigates the crime the only way he knows how; he embarks on a full-blooded, uncompromising search for the truth. But the truth can be brutal. As the investigation gathers pace H discovers that his own neglected son has been sucked into the international crime ring responsible for one of the worst mass murders in British history, and has been turned against his father. H's mission is now no longer merely a search for a killer but also a quest to save his boy and deal with the man who has corrupted him. As events move towards their climax, H is faced with a trio of extraordinary challenges: can he find the killer of Bazza Wishbone, get to the truth about the twenty bodies discovered in a mass grave in Kent, and find and reconnect with his son before he is spirited out of the country – or worse?
